"A FLAIR FOR TURNING"
In 1969 Stuart got his first lathe and from that point he was
hooked. Like most turners he turned at school, and built on that
from the beginning, learning to cut properly along the way. He soon
found that he had a flair for turning, and after retiring he entered
and won several National competitions. He started to write for The
Practical Woodworking magazine, from that point onwards he was on
'the circuit'. He turned professional in 1992 and has enjoyed
teaching and demonstrating throughout the U.K., Europe, Scandinavia
and the U.S.A.

workshops and guests woodturning clubs. Stuart holds the
Authenticated World Record for the Largest bowl turned from one
piece of wood at the American Woodworker shows in Detroit and
Philadelphia in 1997. He was assisted by his buddy Steve Blenk a big
turner from Seattle.
